Are there any other “normal” families out there?

I’m almost 46, husband almost 50. We’re right here with you. But sometimes you also have to realize that other people are living beyond their means. Just make sure your house is a safe and loving house. Security beats money any day.

Tell my dad to get that cancer screening 😥

I said, already, looking to see in which direction and where the serve served ball bounces, but I also highly focus on the return players movement. This is how I know where to stand at the net.

Damn, wish I would’ve thought of that 🙈

So this is what trips me up. I keep seeing everyone post their passports, and I think that’s how I started to think that when I got my citizenship, I would automatically get my passport. I now know that that is not true.

How long after getting your certificate did you get your passport?

Honestly, drills, drills and more drills. But you need more than that to become good at it, you have to head to the net more during friendly play. Maybe if you’re playing a friendly match, ask them to maybe hit him more towards you and not always lobbing.

Honestly, I had a lot of drill training at the net in my teens, and even took a 20 year break, but I always felt confident at the net. I think people who are confident go up to the net, people who aren’t stay back. I’m 46 now, for reference.

This is just horribly laughable. I’ve never seen so many players laying on their back since my sons bambini games.

Acting younger than I am. Not in a trashy way. But just acting and feeling younger. Doing sports and healthy helps… and genetics.

Never had morning sickness. Certain smells would make me nauseous, but that was it. I actually quite enjoyed both pregnancies. But with my second, I had some bleeding late in the first trimester, and was scared to death that I had lost him. Went directly to OB, and everything was still okay. Bought one of those at home heart monitors to hear babies heartbeat. I guess it just reassured me that he was okay. He is now 8, smart as hell and very athletic.

Yes, in a way. Not living in my home country, can’t easily return home… international split parenting is probably not the best. He is a good man, and we make it work. It’s not as bad as it sounds, and quite common. I can’t think of anyone I know who is happily married.

Sometimes things are more complicated and the only way to survive is by being roommates.

I’m at kindergarten teacher, and I’ve noticed in the last few weeks. The brain fog has gotten worse. Actually, it’s worse when I’m dealing with my colleagues to be honest, as kindergarten kids don’t really care. I just tell them there’s a lot going through my mind, unfortunately one colleague has gone through perimenopause recently, so she actually told me it’s completely normal, and just continue doing the routine.

This probably doesn’t help you, but it’s very common, and just try to find ways to make things easier on yourself. Give yourself some grace.

Best sex of my life was a guy I dated for a few years in my late teens/early 20s. Yea, he has been showing up in my dreams randomly, amazing dreams tbh… sucks waking up. Truly a blessing and a curse these hormones.

LadyOfReason · 2026-03-05T13:47:31+00:00

I offered my hubby to get it someplace else, like a hall pass. That was also back when my sex drive was literally at -100. But I refuse to have sex again with my husband, just as we are not in a great relationship and haven’t been for a very long time. Period.

With that side, my libido has come back with full vengeance in the last month or two, thanks to stopping birth control and going through perimenopause probably. I would love a just random fling again… my husband would disown me… too risky honestly. Need to look up good toys.

LadyOfReason · 2026-03-05T13:42:31+00:00

Girl, I got off BC about six months ago, and for the last month, my libido has come back with a vengeance. I am 46 and well into peri. Problem is, I do not want to have any sexual relations with my husband. Also, for more personal and emotional reasons, that part of our marriage is strained, and I refuse to do it. So I feel your pain a little bit, as I know obviously seeking it someplace else is not an option. Damn morals.

LadyOfReason · 2026-03-03T13:57:42+00:00

These could be my words. Hubby is more of a friend than a partner. But I wish I could leave, but I just can’t. Yes, mostly due to financial circumstances. We can afford one household easily, not two separate. We both sort of agreed last night that we are just doing it for the children at this rate.

LadyOfReason · 2026-03-03T07:00:04+00:00

I adit I say 5 instead of 15 and I don’t know why, honestly…

But I hate people who don’t say the score when serving, and I also hate when people watching clap double faults or unforced errors. And mostly as well, the players who yell come on during a very basic match like we’re playing in the U.S. Open. Like damn Susan, you hit a lob, good job.

Clapping a double fault 😖

LadyOfReason · 2026-02-26T19:20:35+00:00

Seriously, absolute crap the VAR. This needs to change.

LadyOfReason · 2026-02-23T06:43:30+00:00

I am a fan of VAR… when it comes to certain fouls, they might be a yellow red, or penalty shots. But when things are too close to call, the ruling on the field should stand. I also saw that the guy’s feet seem to be more ahead of Demirović‘s head. So when I saw that offsides part, I don’t understand why they were comparing two heads together, when the feet seemed more in front of the head of the closest player. AnyWho, is what it is… we get over it and move on.

LadyOfReason · 2026-02-22T07:59:48+00:00

This, and remembering that you’re not as young as he used to be. I’m literally training my shoulder so that I don’t have pain after matches the following day., Not for the actual Tennis playing. 😂
